SLIDE FQR CHAIN-BRACELETS AND OTHER CHAINS.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 267,526, dated November 14, 1882.

Application filed August 31, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH HERZOG, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Slides for Chain-Bracelets and other Chains, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figurel is a perspective view of my improvement, shown open and illustrating its use. Fig. 2 is a sectional end elevation of the same, shown as applied to a chain. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of the same, taken through the line 00 m, Fig. 2.

The object of this invention is to facilitate the adjustment of chain-bracelets and other chains, and also to prevent the chains from being worn by the friction of the slides in adjusting them.

The invention consists in a slide for chainbracelets and other chains, constructed with a base-plate havingflanges upon its ends and one side, and provided with a lip upon the upper part of one end flange, and the top plate hinged to one of the end flanges of the baseplate and provided with a catch to engage with the lip upon the other end flange, whereby the slide can be readily adjusted upon its chain without friction and wear, as will be hereinafter fully described.

A represents the base or bottom plate of the slide, the ends 1 2 of which are bent upward at right angles and have a height about equal to twice the thickness of the chain to which the slide is to be applied. One of the side edges, 3, of the bottom plate, A, is bent upward at right angles, and has a length equal to the distance between the ends 1 2, and a height about equal to the thickness of the chain. The side flange,3, is designed for the stationary end of the chain to abut against, as the said end rests upon the bottom plate, A,-where it is secured in place by solder, pins, or other suitable means.

To the upper edge of the end flange, 2, is connected by a hinge, B, the cap or top plate, 0, which can be engraved or provided with other suitable ornamentation upon its outer side. The under side of the top plate, 0, is provided with a catch, D, to engage with a lip, E, formed upon or attached to the outer side of the upper part of the end flange, 1.

With this construction the slide A O can be readily opened when the said slide is to be adjusted upon the chain, so that the adjustment can be made readily and without wearing the chain or slide by friction in moving the said slide from one position upon the chain to another.

Having thus fully described myinventioml claim as new and desire to secure by'Letters Patent 1. A slide for chain bracelets and other chains, constructed substantially as herein shown and described, and consisting of the base provided with a hinged top plate, as set forth.

2. In a slide for chain-bracelets and other chains, the combination, with the base-plate A, having end and side flanges, 1 2 3, and provided with a lip, E, of the hinged top plate, 0, provided with a catch, D, substantially as herein shown and described, whereby the said slide can be readily adjusted upon its chain without friction and wear, as set forth.

JOSEPH HERZOG.
